Product Description

“Love these shoes! I wear these from the gym, to work, to church, to the beach.
Great style and wearability!”  – Larry K.

The Z-Trail EV offers the perfect combination of lightweight protection, natural flexibility, durability, versatility, style and affordability. 

Is it the best barefoot hiking sandal? We think so!

WHAT MAKES THE Z-TRAIL EV THE ULTIMATE SPORTS SANDAL?

LIGHTWEIGHT PROTECTION THAT FEELS JUST RIGHT.

The Z-Trail EV features an updated 11mm FeelLite™ sole with a middle layer of TrailFoam™ and an updated dual chevron lug pattern that offers the best combination of comfort, protection, and trail-ready traction while still allowing you to bend, move, flex, and feel the terrain beneath your feet. 

At just 153 grams each for a men’s size 42, the Z-Trail EV remains just as lightweight and versatile as the original best-selling Z-Trail. 

MADE FROM EARTH & VEGAN-FRIENDLY MATERIALS.

The Z-Trail EV eliminates 70% of the unnecessary materials used in modern sports sandals – and because its soft, tubular quick-dry webbing is made from nylon sourced from recycled water bottles, it’s even better for the planet than before!

GOES ANYWHERE. GOES WITH ANYTHING.

Available in three colors, the new Z-Trail EV is ultra-capable yet stylish enough to accompany just about any look, so you can take anywhere from the trail to the boardwalk and everywhere in between. 

WE MAKE SANDALS SO COMFORTABLE, YOU’LL FORGET THEY’RE EVEN ON.

If your feet don’t feel as good at the end of the day as they did in the beginning, you haven’t tried the Z-Trail EV.
 
Life-changing comfort and superior performance come from letting your feet do what’s natural – bend, move, flex and feel.
 
All Xero Shoes feature a non-elevated “zero drop” heel for proper posture, low-to-the-ground design for perfect balance and agility, and a flexible sole that gives you “just right” protection so you can bend, move, flex, and safely Feel the World® in total comfort.

We recommend ordering your usual size.

Feeling of freedom

They feel great, I often forget I am even wearing them. Sometimes my toes move beyond the edge of the shoe, but maybe I just have to adjust the straps for a better fit. Also I am generally not used to open shoes, but these are an exception, they work well even for me

Great buy!

Due to the winter I haven’t used them outside, but they feel great indoor. I am really looking forward to use them outside on long walks.

not in wet or mud conditions

They are comfortable and light in the dry and when you do not nee protection. At sea wit h very sharp rocks are you can feel ...too much. When wet the feet slip in the sandal and it is not nice when the terrain is uneven. I will see on durability in the next summer

comfortable simple sandals

I use these sandals to get around in town and on my land. I have explored some hikes as well. Overall they are comfortable to wear and very lightweight. On trails I personally feel that my feet are a bit too exposed especially when going through parts with spikey plants. But if you stay away from that kind of terrain there is no problem. It is not a good river sandal because it is slippery when wet. For me this is a pre-requisite for a sandal like this, hence the 3 star score. It was the first time for me sliding into a river because of my grip failing and I intend to never use them in wet conditions again. So if you stay dry, you are good. Don´t wear when wet unless the terrain is very forgiving. Obviously for a hiking sandal this is a bit of a problem, because you never know when it will rain and for me grip is most essential.

Greaaat sandals

I have bought them repeatedly, they are my favourite piece in "wardrobe". Once the sun hits the ground I am unable to go without them anywhere.
